Vinyl pressings
by Kevin Devine · 2009
Brother's Blood was first pressed on vinyl in 2009. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
5 pressings came out in 2009, the album's first year, in 2 countries. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.
Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.
By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

15 vinyl pressings of Brother's Blood are listed here, from 3 countries, released between 2009 and 2022.
The earliest pressings are from 2009, in Germany, US. One of them is Arctic Rodeo Recordings arr013lp, released November 6, 2009.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use arr013lp) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
